How sad is it
when parents stare
at their phones?
Dear Carolyn:
Went to breakfast today at a fam
ily restaurant. Sat in a booth next
to a mom and dad and two boys
about 8 and 10 years old. The par
ents each had their cellphones on.
The boys had no cellphones. The
only time the mom looked up from
her phone was to order and once
in a while, when she ate, to speak
to her husband. The only time
the dad looked up from his phone
was when he ordered or when he
looked at his wife’s phone.
There was no communication
between the parents and the kids.
I watched the kids eat their fruity
face pancakes and not talk to their
parents or each other through the
whole meal.
I am very, very saddened by this.
What I wouldn’t give for a chance
to have a breakfast like that again
with my boys when they were
small. We had such fun when our
family went out to breakfast.
Just can’t get my mind around
this. What has happened to
families? I would appreciate your
thoughts.
— Concerned Mom
That certainly paints a depress
ing picture.
Except we don’t know what it’s a
picture of.
You believe it’s a picture of
phone-addicted parents and the
disconnected children who speak
for all modern families in their
silence.
And you may be right.
But your snapshot says nothing
of where they came from, where
they’re going, why they’re on
phones, who they’re becoming.
You’ve drawn conclusions utterly
out of context.
I also note an absence that’s
often distressingly present at
family-restaurant tables where
children don’t get their adults’
attention: desperate ploys to get
their adults’ attention.
So maybe what you saw as
neglect was the eating of meals
in peace by two nurtured, well-
behaved, listened-to children.
Maybe breakfast wasn’t the fam
ily event, but the break between
events.
Maybe they were on the last day
of a vacation, relieved not to talk.
Maybe the parents were tying
up loose ends at their jobs to clear
the rest of the day for their boys.
Maybe they agreed, “You let us
work a bit, we give you fruity
face pancakes, then we go on an
adventure.”
Maybe the parents were looking
up children’s museums or walking
trails.
Maybe their phone time would
yield the name of a restaurant that
pleases all ages and is halfway
between the two road games their
kids were playing with their differ
ent teams that day, so they could
make a day of it together.
